Limewire

there is nothing to download off Limewire these days you end with virus..

I was looking for Ubuntu and I came with 40 KB files ;(
Extremely depressing back in the days, when people use to use Limewire, Kazaa, emule etc. They use to have a lot of p2p users. :(

I'm using Pro at the moment but I haven't used it enough to notice box difference. Go to nsanedown.com and search for Limewire. You should find a link to a Limewire Pro download page. (On the Limewire website, not some dodgey stuff)

Sorry if this is against the rules, but it's just a loophole in Limewire's website.

Very depressing indeed. And in some cases hard to detect.... am now finding legitimate programs that install fine, and within minutes you find you have XPAntivirius2008 on your machine!.

I've learnt my lesson though, and from now on it's virtual machines before I touch what I've downloaded with a barge pole. Because antiviruses are powerless to not only detect these, but remove them or do anything about them at all. These are nasty malware that even attack HijackThis and shut your machine down when you try and run any tool you can bring to bear like RootkitRevealer and HijackThis. They even lock their files on the drive so putting the drive in another machine to try and delete the malware is a useless attempt.

Less than 2 years ago, torrents were still safe as was eMule. This year it seems it's really a malware cesspool.
